Is It Me; Am I Crazy?

Is it me; Am I crazy

To be concerned

When at theater producing The Grapes of Wrath, about destitute people

I hear applause about raising $100 dollars to go to Helping Hands Ministry

And $125 thousand dollars going to enlarge the bathrooms

In the theater?

Is it me; Am I crazy

To be concerned

When strong, able bodied college kids

Spend lots of money to travel to help people in New Jersey

When they live less than 5 miles from a city in distress

Or take expensive trips to third world countries merely

To observe and then simply show their slides when they return?

Is it me; Am I crazy

To be concerned

Over the cries to save the “isms” we have constructed with our own hands

And totally ignore and forsake the I AM who created the world with His?

Is it me; Am I crazy

To be concerned

When my ears get worn out from listening to so many words

And my eyes become vacant because the words vanish

Leaving nothing of substance, or change, behind?

Is it me; Am I crazy

To actually take God at His word

To believe He says what he means and means what He says

And needs no human being to interpret for Him

Or put a spin on what He has clearly commanded

To believe He only wants my love and my obedience

And that obedience is all, and only for my good and well being?

 Is it me; Am I crazy?
